Last night I was posting the lines he had out there. I couldn't understand it . They we all so lost out there , Jack with Girgs and Dlo ? WTF was that?

I don't understand it, obviously Jack was in the dog house for something yesterday. but WTF.... It's not like we can even point to yesterday, he's been doing this since he got here....


PICK (frank)ING LINES AND LEAVE IT ALONE...

Buffalo sports fans . We in a time when both our franchises have coaches on the hot seat and the fans want then out .

Sucks to be us .

I can see during a line change a player left out there cause of the way the play is going , Caught up ice or on a rush out. But he was changing them and putting them out after the stoppage of play.

I really don't want Rex out.... not unless they are going to clean house, than I'm more than fine with it. But I'm over watching Whaley, and the other buttmunches pick another crappy coach.

I'm not sure this guy was TM choice, but my tolerance for TM is fading quickly as well.

Death by over thinking... I've been watching Hockey since 1970 I've never seen someone (frank) with lines like this guy.... how are these guy supposed to play together when there is no consistency to the lines... I get breaking a line up to rattle them but... this is just stupid.

How about teaching them how to break the trap game Carolina was playing except we get putting Jack on the 4th line. PRICELESS

Like I said, Bylsma was on his way to losing the room, calling out your best player on the team should put him right over the top.

Here's an interesting dynamic from last nights game.

I don't see anything in Staal's hit on Jack that was dirty, or contrary to any Code, and it didn't even really look like it was all that hard. It just caught Jack in a weird way and made him drop his stick.

But watch how McCabe gets after Staal right away. And look how pissed Bogo is to get after him - even hits Staal a couple of times when he's on the ice. And at the end of it all, when Bogo skates to the room, he doesn't look at the bench, and Bylsma has his head down.

That looks like the team voting for Jack, and against the coach, and the coach getting the message pretty clearly. Somebody tell me if I'm reading too much into this.

That's definitely possible, and I defended Bylsma until last night.

But he isn't the reason the team is losing IMO

We have come out flat and uninterested the past how many games in a row now?

Do we really need Ted Nolan to motivate these guys?

Even Jacks interview post game seems to be telling the story . Dans interview seems like he knows something is up and has accepted it.

Your point is valid: these guys are pros, and shouldn't need a guy to pump them up to do their jobs.

But did you ever work for a poopty boss who had really bad company policies that you felt were holding you back from your potential?

I have. I wasn't anywhere close to being my best. And part of it was because my boss was holding me back. And more of it because my head wasn't right and I was spending so much time being grumpy about my poopty boss that I couldn't be my best. When a boss is that poopty, they gotta go.

And last night, Bylsma looked really poopty.

I thought is was a little weird how both McCabe and Bogo reacted, and I had no problem with the hit.... I think they were just sending a message don't touch our guy though, which for once is nice to see.

I'm not sure what going on.... I have to think the players are doing to same thing as us, "what the (frank) is this guy doing"

hmmm I dint listen to the post game, now I have too.

He said postgame he needed to send a message to both Jack and the rest of the team.

I 100% disagree with it. But I don't know if maybe something happened we don't know about.

I just listened to both postgames.... something happened.

It's obviously why Jack started with the two line mates he did and why he was off the first team PP...
I'm not going to pretend to know what happened, but From Jack's interview he clearly isn't happy about it.

tonight should be interesting.

Go to new Pach.
